Give us specific water paramters. Test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, salinity, ph, calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, phosphate. Go from there.

check your alkalinity. Your calcium is a bit low---420. Magnesium is a tad low ---1300. Water is out of balance, I suspect. Ph is not real useful in a marine tank: alkalinity should be about 8.3, and you should constantly track that, because it can upset a lot of critters to have that go down.
